Gianna POV
I opened the door to Axel's office, and just as I had heard from the maids in the house, he was surrounded by naked girls who were barely dressed.
"busted." His friend laughed at him. "I'm leaving," he said when I threw a death glare his way. The girls who were with Axel followed him out of the door; they didn't care that I was Axel's wife as they smirked at me.
Not this again. I thought I wasn't going to let myself go through this again. My experience with Alpha Nathan was enough, and I don't need another.
"I want a divorce," I said with a strong voice, my hands on my waist as I stared at Axel, who was still sitting at his desk. He had a bored expression on his face and wasn't worried about my impossible request for a divorce; our marriage hadn't been up to a month. Nothing had happened between us; we both slept in separate rooms since I came to the pack. I barely bother to come out of my room. My foolish decision to marry Alpha Axel hits me every day after the day of our wedding. I should have thought more about it; there are other ways to escape alpha Nathan that didn't include handing my life over to alpha Axel.
"If I didn't know better, I would have said that you are jealous." alpha Axel stared directly into my eyes, trying to understand me.
I'm not jealous; after what had happened to me in my past life, I don't want another cheating husband, not again.
"We both know that I'm not going to give you a divorce; besides, you are overreacting." Axel said, "I want an heir from you; I can't get that if we divorced."
"I don't want to carry the baby of a cheating man." I thought back to my past life.
"Dax, you idiot." Axel muttered to himself, "You are misunderstanding things, Gianna; Dax only brought those girls here because he didn't want to believe that I got married."
There was nothing he wanted to tell me that I didn't see for myself. I saw the way he smiled at them while their hands were all over him. I wouldn't have known what was going on if the maid hadn't purposely gossiped loudly at the door to my room, almost as though they were telling me that they know the truth about who I was, a sad, pathetic woman who wasn't alpha Axel's real mate. Their words dared me that I couldn't do anything to stop him if he wanted to cheat on me. Our marriage wasn't a love marriage, but I'm not letting this handsome bastard cheat on me.
"I don't care about your explanations; just give me a divorce." If what he wants is to sleep around like a man whore, he's free to do it after divorcing me, not while I'm legally still his wife.
Axel stood to his feet and walked towards me; his scent engulfed me as his face was inches away from mine. For a dirty cheater, he smelled good, so good that I felt like grabbing him by his collar just so that I could breathe in his scent deeply.
"If you know that you don't want any trouble from me, you are going to fulfill your duty as my wife and Luna and give me an heir." His voice was soft, but his threats brought chills to my spine; it wasn't an empty threat, alpha Axel was a dangerous man; everything about him didn't hide it. "I'm sure you must know by now that most of my pack members don't like you, and you have already been rejected by your parents and your pack. If you divorce me, where will you go, Gianna?" He asked in a mocking tone; his words pierced my heart. It hurts because it was true.
"You want an heir because of my bloodline, don't you?" a shocked expression came to his face as he asked, "How did you _?"
"It's not hard to figure out why a man like you will marry a woman like me. Everyone who knew my family knows about our bloodline and how rare it is." I lied; I messed up by mentioning what I knew from my past life.
Marrying alpha Axel isn't so bad; he wants to use me, and I could also use him; gaining full authority as his wife could give me enough power and influence to gain my parents love and expose Quinn. I could also get revenge on Alpha Nathan and Quinn for what they did to me in the past.
"Okay, let's do this." I said to Axel. He stared at me with fascinated eyes that made me wonder what he was thinking. "You give me the full authority that comes from being your wife, and I give you the heir you want so much, but after birth, we divorce and go our separate ways."
I was a terrible mother in my past life, a foolish mother who couldn't protect her child. I would be lying if I said that I wasn't afraid of getting pregnant again. I didn't want to think about it, but I can't forget how my first baby died in my womb. I never got the chance to hold that child in my arms. I'm not confident with taking care of a child, so I will leave the baby with Alpha Axel.
"Sounds like you are trying to form a marriage contract with me," he said in a tone that wasn't displeased.
"Of course I want you to be a faithful husband while we are married."
Alpha Axel wraps his hands around my waist. "That's easy; you are the only woman I currently want on my bed." He leaned his face towards me.
"What are you doing?" I asked in a panicked tone as I tried to escape his grip.
"I'm starting our deal by getting the heir I want," Alpha Axel kissed me.
Our contract hasn't been drafted yet, but he didn't care.
Gianna POVI stride towards the car and look through the window, but it was empty. I turned back towards the company and wondered what Axel was still doing inside even though he left before me."Ahhh!" a little girl cried out in pain and fell down on the ground. "Help me!" she screamed.My eyes looked down the road, where the girl was, and I saw a truck heading her way. Quickly, with full speed, I carried her away, pushing myself with my arms wrapped protectively around her to another lane of the road."Are you okay?" I asked the girl in my arms; she looks no older than 5 years. I wanted to ask her why she was just standing on the road like that but couldn't when I saw the tears in her eyes; she must have frozen in fear when she saw the truck coming."Gianna!" alpha Nathan shouted; his voice made me realize that another car was moving in full speed towards me and the girl in my arms. "Get out of the way!" he shouted again in fear.I tried to move, but the little girl struggled to move
Quinn"Dad!" I said in surprise as I stepped into Mr. Talon's studies."Yes, honey." Mr. Talon said, "Why are you so surprised to see me?""Mr. Blaise is back," I said, trying to contain the surprise I still felt from seeing my real father, Mr. Talon's favorite butler, 'Mr. Blaise.'"Yes, he's done with the task I gave to him and will be staying at the pack for a while. I can't think of any other issues than your sister, who's trying to ruin us." Dad frowned in anger; the expression on his face that I was used to showed that he had a headache from thinking so much about Gianna."Let me take you to your room." I assisted Mr. Talon in getting up from his chair like the dutiful daughter I have been trained to be. "I'm sorry, honey, you came in here because you wanted to talk to me about something; it's going to have to be later. If it's overly urgent and can't wait, let Mr. Blaise handle it; I'm going to rest in my room.""Yes, sir," Father said, bowing to Mr. Talon in respect.I wanted
Quinn POVI rushed down the corridor upstairs to Dad's office when I knew he would be with Mom, having a private meeting with Gianna. I need to stop them before it's too late."Don't do it!" I shouted immediately when I opened the door to the office.Gianna held a pen in her hand, waiting for Dad to pass over a document to her.I eyed the document as I closed the door and took in a few breaths to control my breathing because I had run all the way here. I used the stairs because I couldn't wait for the elevator."I know what you planned to give to her." I said softly to Mom and Dad, "Don't do it; giving her all that money isn't the only way out."A surprised expression came to Mom's face, but she tried to hide it as she asked, "Quinn, darling, how did you?" She sadly looks at the document that was still in Dad's hands. "There's no other way out. You know what your sister is going to do to the company, to the family, if we don't settle things like this."Dad shut his eyes in pain and wi
Alpha Nathan POV"Be fast with what you have to say; I have other things to do." Gianna wrapped her arms around herself in discomfort as her eyes moved around the meeting room I had dragged her into; there was no one here except for us, yet she was still unwilling to look at me."From the tone of your voice, I guess you and Alpha Axel have settled the misunderstanding between you two?" I couldn't hide the pain I felt from my voice."Is that all you have to say?" Gianna asks coldly. a passive expression on her face.She turns her heels, attempting to leave; without thinking, I grab her and forcefully kiss her lips.Gianna aggressively pushed me away and slapped me hard on the cheeks. It took a moment of silence filling the room for me to realize what I just did."Gianna, I'm_""Not another word from you, Nathan." She glares straight at me, the sleeves of her suit aggressively rubbed against her lips.I know that what I did was wrong, but still I couldn't stop myself from thinking, 'Do
Axel POV"What's on your mind?" Dax asks. He lets the tip of his finger move freely on the screen of his phone while I mindlessly stare at the TV. "Are you still arguing with your wife?"I turned to Dax and arched one brow his way.Dax sighed; he turned his phone off and rested his hands on his lap. "News travels fast around here, mostly when it concerns Alpha Nathan's ex-mate."I thought back to the huge fight I had with Gianna at her parents company and smiled remembering how she said that she loves me, but the smile disappeared as I thought of Alpha Nathan."It's like you are having a mood deficiency or something." Dax said in a serious tone as he studied me."Is there no way for me to get rid of Alpha Nathan?" My question left a silence in the air. The maid who was bringing a glass of water for Dax steadied the cup that almost fell out of her hands and pretended as though she didn't hear a thing as she silently placed the cup in front of Dax; still, her hands shook in fear."Tell
Gianna POVJust like he promised, Axel made me feel sore all over. I tiredly groan as he carried me and placed me in the bathtub, my body relaxed in the hot water that was full of bubbles."turned your back for me." Axel said. He holds a sponge in his hand.I turned and rested my hands and my chin at the edge of the huge bathtub. From the movement of the water, I knew that Axel had gotten into the bathtub, although I wasn't looking at him. He gave a little kiss to my back before he started scrubbing.I felt happy and contented with Axel by my side, but how long was this happiness going to last? I didn't want to jinx things between us, but my last marriage with Nathan was sad and overly depressing. I never once dreamed that my marriage with Axel would end up like this. When we got married, we only wanted to use each other, but we ended up falling in love instead. This wasn't part of the plan."So... what is going to happen to us?" I asked, trying hard to keep worries away from my voice
